All true scientists should be wringing their hands over the powerful sounding name of a political pressure group parading beneath the banner of science. Adding to this deception is the use of the word ‘union’, implying the exact ‘settled science’ that we all now recognize as a front for Faux Science.

Well practiced in the art of deception, the Union of Concerned Faux Scientists have been issuing unsupportable statements on virtually every liberal talking point. The Center for Consumer Freedom offers a good analysis of some of these Faux Science positions at Activistscash.com, and enter ‘Union of Concerned Scientists’.

Highest on this elitist front group agenda is global warming / change / disruption, or whatever the catch phrase de jour is for this completely fabricated crisis. The UCS webpage states:

“Global warming is one of the most serious challenges facing us today. To protect the health and economic well-being of current and future generations, we must reduce our emissions of heat-trapping gases by using technology, know-how and practical solutions at our disposal.â€

27th October is Climate Fools Day.

Climate Fools Day

The day was named by protestors outside the British House of Commons on 27th October 2008 when the house was debating the Climate Bill. As the first October snow in 70 years blanketed the House (and a big swathe of Europe), MP’s droned on about the need to fight global warming.

For six hours MP’s reassured one another about the desperate need to be the first government in the world to saddle its unfortunate people with a burden estimated at £15 billion a year. As snow continued to blanket Westminster, only two MP’s questioned the huge cost and dubious benefits from the energy taxes and green energy rorts they were imposing.
Christopher Booker of the Daily Telegraph noted gloomily:
“If the Bill’s intent is taken seriously, the cost of cutting our CO2 emissions by 80 per cent would cripple our economy, closing down much of what remains of our industry and rendering most motorised transport impossible.â€
